Thinking about an exploratory adventure up mt sicker on Monday. Still dont know a lot in the area but just enough to get into some fun. Looking for medium difficulty trails as I have a locker but no winch. Would love to find these old mine shafts I hear about
I'll be up Saturday but not monday. Hope ya have fun and find someone to show ya around
I may go up sunday or mon and i know Sicker very well
Hey Andrew I'm not able on Monday, however i am on the weekend. Was up Sicker a few weeks back found 1 mine and the old rail line.. There are still 4 other mines I'm wanting to find. If your free next weekend let me know.
I might be free next weekend, I'll keep you posted
sounds good
There lot of old mines just hard to find after timber west did there thing about 18 years ago this is last one i came across 2 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpK2QKoq3xE&lc=UgjjA87h2sPsP3gCoAEC
That awesome thanks for sharing. The mines that I am most interested in finding are the old Spanish mines noted for there square entrance. Historical record shows Spanish explorers sailed along the west coast of Vancouver Island reaching as far north as Alaska in the 1700s. People have found these old mine on the Island but are keeping the exact location a secret.
they-er supposed to be out in leech town there is mention of them in the book Vancouver island ghost towns
Thanks for the info... I'll look into it, much appreciated
Looks like I'll be working on the truck today rather than out exploring. Got a leaking transfer case that I need to get to, and might as well tackle some of my wiring problems while I'm at it. Next time!
Won't make it to Sicker this weekend, doing Sooke instead. Would love to get out amd explore Sicker some more though. Great place and so accessible
I won't be doing sicker this weekend either... replacing upper & lower control arms.
